MEMO FROM GOD

[Virtuous 0]

Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes you need
to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I
may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in
this life.


1. QUIT WORRYING
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you
forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for
you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes
your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR
list. Put it on MY to-do list. Let ME be the one to take care of the
problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And although my
to-do list is long, I am after all, God. I can take care of anything you
put into my hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take
care of a lot of things that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back.
Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs,
your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my
list. Problem with finances? Put it on my list. Problems with your
emotional roller coaster? For my sake, put it on my list. I want to help
you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now,
I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling
stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens and I'm taking care
of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you
know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back
where you started? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me
do my job.

5.TALK TO ME
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy.
Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But
there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk
to me OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to
include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you
talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a
conversation with me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you
are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't
want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over
you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a
much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just
doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7.SHARE
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you
forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate
than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your
laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share
your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith
with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many
diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children,
change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places,
meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so
impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to
handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is
perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days,
everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may
not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I
still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created
each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were
all identical. Please know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created
by me for one reason only - to be loved, and to love in return. I am a
God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It
makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go
wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that!

With all my heart I love you,
GOD

WOW!!! :eek: This whole thing ministered to me, but the one that jumped off the screen at me was this one...

8. BE PATIENT

Yep...I'm impatient. I'm a single mother with an infant and a 4 year old and I want things NOW! I want God to supply my needs NOW! Where did I get that from? I guess it's because I'm used to being gratified right away. When I was married, I got what I wanted...I was spoiled. When he walked off and left me and my son, I didn't have anyone to fill that role for me. I didn't have anyone to give me what I wanted. People told me that God desires to be that in my life, but little did I know he didn't want to be exactly THAT, but He wanted to teach me that I can have whatever I ask, but it has to be according to HIS plan. I've been working on adapting myself and connecting myself to HIS plan, but that's difficult. I went off and met another man and let him impregnate me and once again, he walked off. I used to hate myself for that, but God is helping me through those condemning feelings.

Cholette sent me a PM that changed my life a while ago. All she said was that Love Never Fails. When you think about how God is love...it means that God never fails. He never fails to supply my need, he's just not going to spoil me in the human way that I was used to being spoiled in. YES, he does spoil, but in a way where we can appreciate and handle what he's giving us.

So yes, I just spilled my guts...all over #8 "Be Patient"...thanks for reading!

Jimmy, I appreaciate your openess about your situation. I pray for you all of the time and I know that God has a plan for your life as well as your children. As I always say to you...STAY FOCUSED! Don't allow situations and people to take you off course. God loves you and is turning EVERYTHING around to glorify His name.

Patience isn't always the easiest thing, but I tell you...if you just wait on the Lord and press through those things that are trying to hinder you...He will make it worth your while...Trust me!

Love you!!!
